* There are an estimated 40,000-55,000 African immigrants living in the Greater Philadelphia area. (These figures are based on community leader estimates).
* There are immigrants in Philadelphia from almost every African country. 
* The largest communities are from Nigeria, Liberia, Ethiopia, and Ghana.
* African immigrants in Philadelphia speak many different languages. Some, like Amharic in Ethiopia and
* Wolof in Senegal, are spoken by a majority of the community as first or second language. 
* Other languages are spoken by just a small ethnic group. In communities with great linguistic diversity, English or French, the
* official language of the home country, may be the preferred language of communication
